THERE were strikes of a different kind in North Cyprus when the St Andrew’s Church Ladies’ Thursday Group took on the monthly Mensmeet group at ten pin bowling . They went to the Kings pin bowling centre off the Girne bypass for the annual sporting challenge on Thursday. “We were thrashed .We were very gracious losers.We were just beaten by the men last year but they have obviously been practising more than us,” joked Linda Smith,of the ladies’ group. Ray Meredith, of the Mensmeet group,won a bottle of wine for getting the best score on the day. “It ’s all about fun, ”added Mrs Smith. “About 30 of us got together for the day.We are hoping, as the Ladies ’Group, to play at the flat green bowling centre[currently being built in Lapta].” The Ladies ’Thursday Group was set up about two decades ago to raise Money towards the cost of keeping a chaplain at St Andrew’s Church’ initially concentrating on crafts and handicrafts. Today, both groups are social affairs,not just for church members,but for other people,including newcomers to the country “We are very friendly groups. ”said Mrs Smith. By MARK FORSTER
